Of all days to feel good and want to go for a long ride...the first long ride in months...and what a treat it was all day...and at the very end..we came upon these symbolic creatures of Mothers Day. This is the first time I have seen the babies in my life...I also got some superior video....I will post it in a day or two....but even though it is 3 days till official Mothers Day..I decided not to wait..I was too excited!

Hi Bob,

What a nice picture for Mother's Day. This Canadian Goose family reminds me of the Quails here who are always seen out walking with their little ones. The babies are so small and cute and the parents are beautiful.

Jane

Nice that you gotta go outdoors, Bob!
Am too busy to do that right now or in the near future.
I really like this shot!Its so beautiful, I see my Mom, my sister and me here in this shot!
I wonder...
Thanks for your kind words...Yes I respect my sister a lot, my Mom was a working woman, it was my sister who taught me to tie my shoe laces (she's 2 years my elder), she was the one who corrected my mirror image alphabet...And to see her so helpless and suffering so, it pains, pains a lot.
THanks once again,
Goldy

Hello Bob,
Beautiful family composition on symbolic creatures of Mothers Day. I do agree that it's rare to see them with babies of this age! TFS

A Happy Mother's Day to Jane too Bob!
A fine capture of a pair of Canada Geese and their goslings, taken with fine quality considering this is a still from your video. Technology moves in strange ways: you can use SLR's to take films and video cams to make stills!
Thanks and have a good day both of you!

OH! Oh! Oh! the little chicks, little ducklings walking in the field, lucky you! There is something to get excited here Bob. They are so cute, I want more!!! ;-) Motherhood is a full time job, we can celebrate the Mothers of this world any time, even three days ahead. Thanks to you!

Francine

Hi Bob,

The point of view is allowing us to see the details and colors of the canadian geese. The picture is clear and sharp. The vegetation is framing well the water. The light is well managed and is enhancing the colors. Have a nice day.

Nice capture Bob,
What a fitting image for Mothers day, a family together enjoying the day!! It won't take long though before those young ones will be all grown up with babies of their own.
TFS.

Ciao Bob, great composition with lovely couple, good details and splendid sharpness, wonderful light and colors, very well done, brava, ciao Silvio

Bob,
Just BEAUTIFUL!!!
Our guests are still "brooding". It's far too cold here. The eggs have been laid.... another 2 weeks or so and we will see the "mothers" parade the chicks.
Best regards,
M.
